B-ball and Crocheting 2-28-2011

So today was another b-ball day for my younger siblings. Packing lunches, getting uniforms together and off we go! So what do I do while my siblings are practicing for 4 hours?

Well, Sometimes I will bring my laptop, or sometimes I will do a bit of writing. But most of the time I bring my yarn and crochet. I can make many things from scarfs to afghans. Right now I am working on making an afghan made up of a bunch of squares with many different colors. Sort of like a quilt. Also, If I find a color combination that I really like, I might make a scarf out of it to wear around. :)

Water Drops and The 6th Sense 2-27-2011

On the way to church I have noticed this little water drop done in graffiti for a few weeks now so today I decided to take a picture of it. It is sad that someone with this much talent, who has so much potential, would waist it spray painting bridges and such...

Well, I just got done watching a movie called The 6th Sense with my dad and Robert...who then proceed to pick on me and try to scare me...its gonna be a long night... or so I thought. An unlikely friend was just talking to me for a bit and I really don't feel scared at all anymore. :)

Work and Horses 2-26-2011

Well, I have failed. I wasn't able to upload a picture/post last night...but that will NOT happen again!

Anyway...Yesterday I had work from 9-3 then I went over to horse sit for this family from our church. They have 4 horses and 4 dogs. I LOVE horses! lol And I Love any chance to help take care of these horses. :)

Crayfish! 2-25-2011

So look what I found at work!! He wasn't very happy about me taking his/her picture.. lol. :) It rained really really hard yesterday so the rain/flooding must have washed him up here. I picked him up using the dustpan to put him into the grass so he wouldn't get hurt and he had to be at least 3-4 pounds! It is amazing how God shows his creativity through animals.

Nana's B-day 2-24-2011

Well, tomorrow (well, its now after midnight again so i suppose i could say its today.) is my Nana's (mom's mom) birthday. So this evening after I got off work I stopped by and picked her up some flowers and brought them to her house. (the flowers were on sale because it is after v-day..Yay for sales!) Anyway, I brought her the flowers and then we went out and spent some time together over dinner.

The flowers I got my Nana :)

My Little Sis 2-23-2011

So I am dedicating this post to my little sister Judy. She is amazing for a 10 year old. She means everything to me. I wanted a little sister for so long and then I ended up getting one (her) for my 9th birthday. :) I thank God for her every day and I pray that she will grow up to be a beautiful young woman in the Lord. She makes me happy even when I feel like the entire world is crashing down around me. I ♥ her.

(Me and Judy in the snow a few weeks ago. I didnt have my camera with me today so this is the most recent picture I have of us together.)

Gym and Beautiful Sky 2-22-2011

Well, twas another beautiful day here in the grand state of Texas. I got up determined to start eating healthy and so I had an egg for breakfast (with a whole-grain slice of bread toasted) then went to the gym with my mom and dad.

Afterward my mom and dad went to get the camper so they can start packing up to go to state. I went out into the camper to hang out with Judy, my mom, and my nana (who was over for a visit) and when we loooked out the back window up at the sky look what we saw! Such beauty that God has created!

Basketball 2-21-2011

Today I went to basketball practice with my younger siblings and my mom. All 4 of my younger siblings are on the Dallas Thunder basketball team. They practice Mondays and Wednesdays for 4 hours! But its worth it to them. This week they have the Texas State and Regional Tournament! Sadly, I won't be able to go because I have work every day that they will be at state. But I will be praying for them in hopes that they will win! (And praying that they will be safe.)

Parks and (Nail) Polish 2-20-2011

So today was another beautiful day outside!

This morning I went to Church and when I got home did Judy's nails. She was so excited because I got this new stencil that does stars. After that we went to the park because how could we ever pass up such a beautiful day inside?! And! Some of the neighbor kids were there and I got to try riding a skateboard. Which I was pretty good at if I do say so myself. :)

Thunder Girl's spirit party. 2-19-2011

So today was SO BUSY! But wonderfully fun too! So it started off by my mom and I going to look at this place called the Ogle School of Hair, Skin, and Nails. Its a cosmetology school. I have been thinking about that more and more as I am trying to decide what to do after graduation.

Afterward we went to Sam's Club to get a few groceries and then it was off to the Thunder girls spirit party! We made t-shirts and posters for nationals and just had a blast with the other girls! Even though I am not officially on the basketball team, so I didn't have a poster to make (the posters will be hung up on the hotel doors when we go to nationals, more on that later).

I still am part of the Thunder family and love to help them out any way I can. And after helping some of the other girls make their posters and t-shirts, there were a few t-shirts left over so I could make one of my own to show off my Thunder pride!

After the party I got to watch the second half of the Junior Varsity girl's and then the Varsity guy's basketball games. (The Junior Varsity boys played while we were in the back making t-shirts and such so I didn't get to see that.)

Then it was off home and now time for bed. Good night. :)

A random bridge in the middle of sam's club with a rainbow umbrella in the back ground...how could I not get a picture with it? :D

Hair, BFFs, And Winter Jam 2-18-2011

Today was quite an amazing day. This morning I got up and Annikah and I went to have some girl time. I got highlights in my hair, and we went window shopping then out to lunch with some free coupons I had (Free is always wonderful! lol)

Then, this evening I went to WINTER JAM! with the Thunder Seniors. Which was an amazing concert with 10 Christian artists who were all spectacular.

Work, Sunset, Gym, Monk 2-17-2011

So today I had work Again...but now I am off until Wednesday! After work Annikah went with me to the gym (Robert and Luke came too). Then I came home and watched a bit of TV with the family. We have been watching this series called Monk (ITS A MUST SEE!) but tonight we watched the very last episode they will ever make. And while it was very sad, it was very good. Bittersweet. :) Well, off to bed now. Busy busy day tomorrow!

Sunset on the way home from work.

Workin' At The Carwash Yea! 2-16-2011

Well, maybe I wasn't working there, but that song sure goes with what happened this evening. I had work for most of the day. Then, when I got of work at 6 I went over to the church for youth group. After I decided that I would go through the carwash with Robert. It was kinda fun and didn't cost nearly as much $$ as I thought it would (yippie!)

This is the link to the video for today because the video wouldnt load last night I had to leave the computer running and let it upload to facebook and publish this in the morning...but it was written yesterday!

Cooking and Kids 2-15-2011

So, today was pretty interesting. I got up wit a list of things to do and maybe got only half of them done, but I got a lot of things done that were not on my list as well.

Today I made Cake Balls for the first time with red velvet cake and they were simply scrumptious! Then I went on to make potato soup which was also very good if I do say so myself.

After that I went over to Sarah Gestler's house to talk and she painted my nails. ^.^ I drove her kids to AWANA which is a program at my church. Kind of like a bible club for kids. I am one of the leaders for the T-N-T class (Truth N Training, ages 8-12). I love those kids! They are always so into the Word, wanting to know more and more and never getting enough of what we have to teach them about the Bible. :)

Workin' All Day 2-14-2011

"Well, not much happened today." Wait?! What? How can anyone say that? Hundreds of thousands of amazing things happen every day of our lives if we just take the time to look at them. For example, today was BEAUTIFUL! Sunny with a high of 70! Last week it was snowing! The sunset on the drive home was Incredible! And I was able to spend the evening with my family. :)

The sign out in front of where I work. Lol.

All The Little Children! 2-13-2011

So this morning during church it was my turn to watch all the preschoolers during children's church. By myself...Luckily I was able to get my sister Judy to help me out with them! I love how kids think! They don't think "Oh if I jump off the chair I'm going to get hurt." No, they think: "Hey! Watch me jump off this chair and fly!" :)

Faithful To My Beloved 2-12-2011

So my mom and dad took me out to lunch today and gave me this ring. (This is just a picture off the internet of the same ring because I couldn't get a good pic of the one I have.) It is a purity ring that says "Faithful To My Beloved". Even though I may not know him yet...I am his forever and will be forever faithful and stay pure for him.

So after we had lunch I went with my mom to get her hair done and I am now considering getting highlights? Hmm...we shall see.

Ice Skating! 2-11-2011

Today was so much fun! I had work from 9-1 but after that me and a bunch of my friends went ice-skating to kind of celebrate my birthday. I am so thankful to have such amazing friends!

Braums :) 2-10-2011

Today my mom came to have lunch with me during my break at work. We were going to go to subway because i had a coupon but..ALL THE SUBWAYS IN TERRELL WERE CLOSED TODAY! Seriously?! They were just open last week! Oh well...at least we got to go to Braums and spend some time together! :) I ♥ My Mom!

MY 19th BIRTHDAY! 2-9-2011

Yep, thats right!I am officially 19! I have decided to take one picture or small video each day and write a little something about my day and put it on here. So here is my very first one!

Annikah came over to my house today and we hung out! We took the dogs for a walk to the park but it was way to cold to stay long! lol. Love my BFF!♥
